I have the same problem with my guinea pig.





What you'll need is a partner and a towel. Your rabbit's favorite treat will also help.





Have your brave volunteer hold the rabbit tight in the towel. Covering her eyes with it might be useful. If necessary have someone feed her the treat. This way she'll be too distracted to bite, and too restrained to scratch. Good luck and have fun...How to get rabbits nails short?
You need to clip them. Your vet can do it for you this time, and show you how. You will need to work on clipping your bunny's nails. Handle her feet a lot and give her treats for being still. You can wrap her in a towel and just pull out one foot at a time to trim them. Someone helping you can hold on to him.





Add: Herd her into a pet carrier and take her into the vet. You should also have her spayed. She will likely be MUCH less aggressive after it is done, plus she will live a longer, healthier life.
It really seems like you're going to have to clip them. I would recommend filing them, but if she won't let you anywhere near her feet, that may be hard.


Just hold her by the scruff of the neck, and have someone help you clip the nails. It's easier when one person holds and the other clips. Holding a rabbit by the scruff of the neck really minimizes movement and releases good feeling endorphins... so it will help her to stay calm and still.


Good luck!
Take her to a vet and have them clipped, don't try and do this youself because if you cut them too short you can cause her pain and distress.
Your best bet is to take her to a vet or groomer and have them clipped. That or have some one hold her and some one clip her. Those scratching posts have never worked for me personally with any animal.
Take her to a vet. We had to. Then put down a slab of concrete so she will keep them short.
A vet will clip the nails for you
Hello, we had the same problem, consult your vets and they will clip them.....
